-Fran- Shocking! Shocking I tell you! Well, not so shocking. And then Satya doesn't want the "Microslop" name, when they prove over and over how sloppy they are. Heh. Regards. Reply
Notton "mostly affects 24H2 and 25H2" Is it even possible to stick to 23H2 or older these days? Reply
mikeebb I can (dual-)boot into Linux Mint on the desktop. If I run into this kind of problem with the Windows side (which so far I haven't fingers crossed, though only the second of the "out of band" updates was actually applied), can I do anything from the Linux side to wake Windows back up again? Probably not (and getting into WRE directly is always a pain – have to do a bunch of internet searching from my phone or the Linux side on those rare occasions to remind me of the procedure), but thought I'd ask anyway. Oh, and what's with nearly all recent (since maybe fall 2025) Windows Updates requiring 2 restarts on the desktop (originally upgraded from Win10, unlike my laptop)? Laptop usually does it with one restart. It's a minor annoyance, since I have to sit there through the first update segment to attend to Grub for the second. Reply
SomeoneElse23 I have a solution. Don't use Windows 11! Happy with Win10 and 0patch here. Reply

TechieTwo No one abuses their OS customers better than Microsoft. They go to entra lengths to deliver for you. 😉 Reply

While bugs are common for all OSs, bricking devices isn't common, but with Windows 11, it has become somewhat common. Reply

One difference though. Linux distros don't force updates on you and it's always optional. Whereas 24H2 was a forced update. Reply
